As Seen on Bad Sisters: The Coucon Changing Robe Story

If you've been watching Apple TV+'s critically acclaimed dark comedy Bad Sisters and found yourself wondering about the changing robe — you're not alone. The robe worn on screen is the Coucon Changing Robe, and yes, it's as good in real life as it looks on screen.

Spotted on Screen — Series 1 & 2

Bad Sisters became one of Apple TV+'s most talked-about shows, earning BAFTA nominations and a devoted global following. Shot largely on the wild, windswept coastlines of Ireland — including Dublin's iconic Forty Foot, a bathing spot beloved by hardy swimmers for over 250 years — the show captures something deeply authentic about Irish outdoor life. And Coucon was right there with it, featured throughout both Series 1 and Series 2.

The Coucon robe appears worn by cast members including Eve Hewson (Becka Garvey) and Sharon Horgan, the creator and star of the show. It's a moment we're incredibly proud of — not because it was a paid placement, but because the production team chose Coucon organically, as the robe that made sense for the story and the setting.

Why Ireland, Why Coucon

Coucon was born from a very Irish problem: you've just finished a wild swim, the wind is cutting across the water, and you need to change without losing all feeling in your fingers. A standard towel doesn't cut it. A standard robe doesn't either.

We designed the Coucon robe to solve exactly that — a waterproof outer shell that blocks wind and rain, lined with a premium, ultra-soft fleece that wraps you in warmth the moment you pull it on. It's built for the Irish coast, which means it's built for anywhere.

The Irish connection runs deep. Our brand grew out of a love for the outdoors, wild swimming, and the kind of rugged, beautiful landscapes that Bad Sisters captures so well. Seeing our robe on screen, in that setting, felt like a full-circle moment.

Built to Last, Built Responsibly

The Coucon robe isn't just warm — it's made with purpose. We use 100% recycled polyester throughout, approved by the Global Recycle Standard and carrying OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, meaning it's been independently tested and verified to be free from harmful substances. Our waterproof shell is also finished with PFC-Free water-repellent technology.

We believe premium outdoor gear shouldn't come at the planet's expense. The recycled materials we use perform identically to virgin polyester in terms of warmth and durability — but with a significantly lower environmental footprint.
